In 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP candidate from Muzaffarnagar parliamentary seat, Sanjeev Kumar Balyan had secured a whopping lead of 84483 votes over his nearest BSP rival and then sitting MP Kadir Rana in the Khatauli assembly segment. However, the upcoming 2017 assembly election to the seat will be a different ballgame altogether and is all set for keen contest among the BJP, SP and BSP. Congress will also try to be in the reckoning.
